Definitions

  • Ethylene alpha-olefin (polyethylene) copolymers are typically produced in a low pressure reactor, utilizing, for example, solution, slurry, or gas phase polymerization processes. Polymerization takes place in the presence of catalyst systems such as those employing, for example, a Ziegler-Natta catalyst, a chromium based catalyst, a metallocene catalyst, or combinations thereof.
  • catalyst systems such as those employing, for example, a Ziegler-Natta catalyst, a chromium based catalyst, a metallocene catalyst, or combinations thereof.
  • a number of catalyst compositions containing single site, e.g., metallocene, catalysts have been used to prepare polyethylene copolymers, producing relatively homogeneous copolymers at good polymerization rates.
  • single site catalyst compositions such as metallocene catalysts, are catalytic compounds in which each catalyst molecule contains one or only a few polymerization sites.
  • ligands are selected to determine the final properties of the polymer formed from the catalyst. For example, different ligands may change the productivity of the catalyst, the polymer chain lengths formed before termination, the rate of incorporation of comonomers, and the like. These ligands may function by modifying the physical environment around the catalytic metal site, for example, increasing the steric hindrance around the catalytic metal site, among others.
  • An embodiment described here provides a method for protecting a phenol group on a precursor compound.
  • the method includes reacting the phenol group with dihydropyran in an acid catalyzed protection reaction and quenching the protection reaction with a strong base within less than about 60 seconds to form a protected precursor compound.
  • Another embodiment provides a method for forming a polymerization catalyst.
  • the method includes reacting a phenol group on a precursor compound with dihydropyran to form a protected phenol precursor.
  • the reaction is quenched with a strong base within less than about 60 seconds.
  • An additional reaction is performed with the protected phenol precursor and a reagent to form a ligand precursor compound, wherein the reagent would attack an unprotected phenol group.
  • the phenol is then deprotected on the ligand precursor compound.
  • Another embodiment provides a method for generating a polyethylene polymer.
  • the method includes reacting at least ethylene with a catalyst system that includes a catalyst formed by reacting a metal compound with a ligand.
  • the ligand is formed in a reaction sequence that includes reacting a phenol group on a precursor compound with dihydropyran to form a protected phenol precursor, and quenching the reaction with a strong base within less than about 60 seconds.
  • the reaction sequence also includes performing an additional reaction with the protected phenol precursor and a reagent to form a ligand precursor compound, wherein the reagent would attack an unprotected phenol group and deprotecting the phenol on the ligand precursor compound to form the ligand.

  • Forming ligands that may be used to make catalysts can often be problematic, as many precursors used in syntheses will participate in undesirable reactions with reagents.
  • one class of catalyst precursors that has been studied for forming catalysts are known as biphenylphenols, which have three or more aromatic groups attached to each other. Typically during the construction of these molecules it is necessary to protect one or more aromatic hydroxyl groups by converting them into less reactive species to allow other reactions to occur, and then deprotecting them during a later step.
  • THP is the preferred protecting group because it avoids the use of hazardous compounds that are used for the MOM protection.
  • a simple method for protecting aromatic hydroxyl groups with THP is the acid catalyzed addition of the hydroxyl group across the double bond of dihydropyran (DHP).
  • DHP dihydropyran
  • Typical literature procedures use HC1, PTSA (para-toluenesulfonic acid), or pyridinium p- toluenesulfonate as the acid catalyst and extended reaction times (3 hours plus) followed by an aqueous workup employing base to neutralize the acid catalyst. Chromatography is often used for purification of the product.

This material was isolated on a sintered glass frit, washed with a fresh aliquot of cold pentane (-35 °C, 10 mL), and dried under reduced pressure. Obtained 0.434 g of a white powder (40%).
